    This just changed my life. I know around here L means leprosy but this just rocks my world.

          Gotta be different pipes. That before pic looks like the chrome is rotted right off. Nice job however you did it.

              Leprosy?? I'm adding that to my collection of L adjectives.


              Life is too short to ride an L.

                  Pipes are nice on that Ladies' model. Very shiny! Very bright and gay.

                      The old pipes were rotted away. I found these on GSR and put them on last night. Every time I walked up to the bike my eyes would gravitate to those rusty pipes and I would just grunt. The change in life came when I walk up to it now I grin. Kinda puts me in mind of a nice set of Cragers on a rusty Nova but this is just the beginning

                        I thought the old pipes had character

                        The new header pipes do look nice. A fine looking example of the model in my humble opinion.

                          Thank you so much. I'm enjoying this mini-restoration very much.
                          And by the way I have a set of pipes for an "83 gs1100gl for sale if there's any interest
